Sparkle layout posted last night

OK so it was really late (for me anyway - after 10:00 p.m. and I turn into a zombie) last night when I added the layout of Sara and Athena, and one of just Athena, walking on the beach, but I want to share with you what these photos mean to me and what I think about when I see them. First, of course, is how beautiful Athena and Sara both are, the ocean beside them doesn't even compare to their beauty, but it certainly makes the photos complete in beauty! Then I remember how Sara has always been with Athena, ever since she was born, there was always this "connection" and special bond between them. Sara sure loves her niece, and Athena sure loves her Aunt "Rara". And then I always think about when my niece, Shauna, was born, her being the first child amongst us three sisters -- and my older sister, Phyllis, had that same "connection" with Shauna, who was my eldest sister, Trish's, daughter. Phyllis didn't go anywhere without Shauna for so many years. Of course, over the years, and as babies turn into toddlers, and then children, and then the oh-so-dreaded teenagers, those connections always lose their specialness, but it makes me wonder if Shauna, and in the future Athena, somehow remembers those special times and still feels that connection.

I am 40-something and am a Paralegal by trade, but became disabled after two failed back surgeries. I live in Arkansas with my husband, teenage daughter and grandson, and I have two other daughters that are grown. I have FOUR wonderful grandchildren (one of which I am raising). I have my dog, Biggest (actually he has about 10 names, but this is my special name for him), who is like my baby boy - he sleeps with me (well, he did until my grandson began living with me, now the Biggest has to sleep on the floor), he kisses me, he hugs me, he is very special to me. We also have my husband's dog, Jethro Bodeine (he's not too bright), that is an inside dog. (That is two HUGE inside dogs.)
